Accepted/Rejected/Waitlisted??? (for current applicants)

[Guest Ian Wong]

Hi all,

 

Here's a quick questionnaire regarding the admissions process at UWO. We ran this questionnaire last year, and I'd like to keep it going on an annual basis so we can generate some profiles of applicants who have been accepted, rejected, or placed on a waitlist for each school. If you are applying this year, please take a few minutes to fill out the below questions.

 

Please keep all replies focussed as answers to the below; I will delete any non-answers in this thread. If you have any questions, please start a new thread so that this one stays on topic. Please check out the big thread in the General Premed Forum as well to let us know which schools accepted you, and which ones waitlisted you or rejected you: pub125.ezboard.com/fpremed101frm0.showMessage?topicID=648.topic

 

If you can copy and paste the below form, and fill it out, that'd be awesome. If you want to contribute your GPA and MCAT stats in addition, that's great too.

I'm a (Province) resident in (undergraduate or graduate) studies. My GPA was (XYZ) and my MCAT scores were:

MCAT: 10/10/10 N

Sorry it was N not M

[Guest awong37]

Hello,

 

I just wanted to clarify that Sumi23 did not receive an interview and *then* get rejected - in case anyone's wondering. It would appear that the only reason that he/she did not receive an interview would be due to the inadequate essay scores on the MCAT. The offers/waitlists/rejections were sent yesterday (May 31), so they should be arriving shortly. Good luck to all those waiting!

 

Best,

Alex.

Hi all,

 

Just called home and had my sister open my envelope. It was good.

 

I'm an Ontario resident, and I just finished my Honours B.Sc. in biology at the University of Windsor. This was my second time through the application cycle, but my first time having interviews.

 

I was accepted by UWO and Ottawa, with no word yet from Toronto. It doesn't matter though, because I'll be accepting the UWO spot. Good luck to all those waiting.
